ASVAB PRACTICE TEST 1 PARAGRAPHCOMPREHENSION EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
1: An important stage of personal time management is to take control of
appointments. Determined by external obligation, appointments constitute
interaction with other people and an agreed-on interface between your activities and
those of others. Start with a simple appointment diary. List all appointments,
including regular and recurring ones. Now, be ruthless and eliminate the
unnecessary. There may be committees where you can't productively contribute or
where a subordinate may be able to participate. Eliminate the waste of your time.
Effectively managing your appointments allows you to
A. spend more time with your subordinates
B. delegate responsibility to subordinates
C. make more efficient use of your time
D. attend only the most important meetings - CORRECT ANSWER-C. make more
efficient use of your time
Effective appointment management eliminates the waste of your time, as explained
in the last sentence of the passage.
2: The U.S. Congress consists of 100 senators and 435 representatives. Two senators
are elected from each state. The number of representatives from each state is based
on population, although each state has at least one representative. Senators serve six-
year terms and representatives serve two-year terms.
According to this passage,
A. There is an equal number of senators and representatives.
B. the number of representatives from each state is decided by a lottery.
C. it's possible for a state to have no representatives.
D. senators and representatives have different term lengths. - CORRECT ANSWER-
D. senators and representatives have different term lengths.
The passage gives the numbers of senators and representatives, so Choice (A) is
incorrect. The passage states that each state's population determines the number of
representatives a state has, so Choice (B) is incorrect. As stated in the passage, each
state has at least one representative, so Choice (C) is incorrect.

, 3: Indo-European languages consist of those languages spoken by most of Europe
and in those parts of the world that Europeans have colonized since the 16th century
(such as the United States). Indo-European languages are also spoken in India, Iran,
parts of western Afghanistan, and in some areas of Asia.
The author of this passage would agree that
A. Indo-European languages are spoken in areas all over the world.
B. Indo-European languages include all the languages spoken in the world.
C. only Europeans speak Indo-European languages.
D. Indo-European language speakers can easily understand one another. -
CORRECT ANSWER-A. Indo-European languages are spoken in areas all over the
world. Many languages are excluded from the Indo-European language group, so
Choice (B) is incorrect. Indians, Iranians, Asians, and Afghans aren't Europeans, so
Choice (C) is incorrect. The passage gives no evidence to support Choice (D), which
isn't true.
4: In privatization, the government relies on the private sector to provide a service.
However, the government divests itself of the entire process, including all assets.
With privatized functions, the government may specify quality, quantity, and
timeliness requirements, but it has no control over the operations of the activity.
Also, the government may not be the only customer. Whomever the government
chooses to provide the services would likely provide the same services to others.
This paragraph best supports the statement that
A. the government must closely supervise privatized functions.
B. privatized functions consist of a mixture of government employees, military
personnel, and private contractors.
C. privatized functions are those institutions that provide services only to a
government agency.
D. privatized functions provide essential services to the government. - CORRECT
ANSWER-D. privatized functions provide essential services to the government.
Privatized functions operate independently of the government, making Choices (A)
and (B) incorrect. The passage states that privatized functions may sell goods and
services to other customers as well as the government, so Choice (C) is also
incorrect. Choice (D) is the correct answer, as privatized functions do perform
essential services to government agencies.
